Girls name suggestions

[AgentOprah]

We have a preference for longer "grown up" names that have some options for cuter shortenings (think Rosalind/Rosemary = Rosie). Also trying to avoid anything too popular so they aren't one of 4 Olivias, Amelias, Evies etc in their class.
So far have Alexandra, Elizabeth and Beatrice on the list.
Any other ideas?

We have similar taste I think op.

I have all your names on my list, (apart from Alexandra which I love but can't use)!

Victoria

I love every shortening of Margaret but DH can only think of Thatcher!

He loves Persephone but do you think it is a bit pretentious?

Love Penelope, Josephine (what could it shorten to? Not keen on Jo/Josie), Susannah.

Josephine can be shorted to Jodie or Sephie.

If you don't like the traditional shortening of a long name you probably should avoid it. It's highly unlikely a Josephine won't get Jo/Josie at least at some point in her life. I'm not sure how you'd get Jodie, but another option is Posy.

My favourite is Penelope nn Penny.

Hermione nn Mimi

I know of a Nicole NN Coey.
